摘要

In the light of previous acoustic analyses of Danish stod and Danish intonation, we discuss two different phonological theories. In one, stod is an autonomous laryngeal syllable prosody. In the other, stod is the phonetic manifestation of an HL tonal pattern compressed within one syllable. The tonal representation is found to be contradicted by the phonetic reality, and it cannot account for the structurally determined alternation between non-stod and stod in inflection and derivation, nor for latent stod or stod in compounds. Furthermore, stod patterns are largely constant across regional varieties of Danish, but tonal patterns over the relevant structural domains are highly variable. Thus, stod may occur on any kind of tonal configuration, anywhere in the speaker%26apos;s pitch range, a variability which is hard to reconcile with a fixed HL representation.
